Top MLK University Hotel Reviews

Element by Marriott Chattanooga East

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay with excellent breakfast."

Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Indigo. The hotel was beautiful and exceptionally clean, with a minimalist design and an industrial touch—exactly what we were looking for. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was great, and the bar was a lovely space. Our only real drawback was the parking. Valet was the only on-site option at $25 per night; otherwise, you had to find parking elsewhere. It’s convenient to arrive and simply hand over your keys, but the extra cost is worth considering if you’re on a tighter budget. The drinks at the bar were decent, though the prices felt a little high. We paid around $50, including tip, for a margarita, a mojito, and a beer on a Monday night. Overall, a beautiful, comfortable place to stay. Just factor parking and bar prices into your budget."

Hotel Bo, a Days Inn by Wyndham Chattanooga Downtown

8/10 Good

"Very clean and affordable option. I stayed during a busy weekend and it was the cheapest option, but I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was. The bathroom on the older side but clean. It can get noisy which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. I would def stay again"
